Hive is dead, 12/19/2018

Opened it up to verify, yes all dead.  Took all honey except one bar (made a gallon and a half of honey), left 4 brood and one honey in the hive and closed up the entrance. Looked at a bunch of dead ones under the scope, lots of varroa. Have to decide what to do about the coming year....

Hive dead?

52F today, no flying.  Did IR on the hive 9 days ago, nice heat cluster.  Did not see the same yesterday.  Need to check again tomorrow.
